One publication that played a significant role in convincing colonists to break from Britain and declare independence was Thomas Paine's pamphlet "Common Sense." It made a compelling argument for why independence was necessary and helped galvanize public opinion in favor of revolution.

What influence did the pamphlet common sense have on the colonist?
It impacted the colonists by helping them choose to go to war or not to go to war. The pamphlet 'Common Sense' by Thomas Paine provided a list of positive reasons why the colonists should approve and get behind the war for independence. The pamphlet was written almost a full year after armed conflict began in the United States (between the colonists/colonies and Great Brittan), so it did not provide reason to start the war, only reasons for unsure colonists to back it.

It came down you are either for or against the idea. Even in Britain there were sides. The British public and politicians who were for the colonist wore a particular shade of blue in support of the cause.
